About us
Route 66 International
It started with 20
friends on a road trip.
Arve Stallvik
discovered this amazing road trip in 2003 and brought along 20 friends on what was supposed to be Norway's coolest guys' trip. Stallvik, a news journalist, travel journalist, and author, embarked on the journey together with friends.
A few years later, this was no longer just a private guys' trip. What started with 20 friends had now grown to over 1350 friends on the journey. The hobby and wild idea of bringing along 20 friends on two wheels across America had, by 2008, become the world's largest Route 66 company. With over 30 organized tours and more than 1000 participants annually, this marked the beginning of what is now Route 66 International.
Arve has traveled around the world for 25 years as a photographer, journalist, author, and adventurer. In the USA, he is simply known as "Mr. Route 66". He has visited the Antarctic/South Pole area twice, been to all continents, visited nearly all states in the USA, and as one of very few people in the world, he has skied to the North Pole alongside polar explorer Børge Ousland.
